Yes you are right. What I meant was that humanity is as nothing compared to the immensity of the universe. We are a microcosm of the macrocosm of the universe as the seed is the microcosm to the macrocosm of the mightiest tree and yet the entire tree is within the seed.
The entire universe is in us in that by our collective will and knowledge and inherent curiosity and our capacity, will enable us to know, understand and explore the entire universe. Nothing else can transcend the limits of natural order yet we are in one sense on the outside looking in. Sure we live and die and are subject to natural order, but we bend it to our will, we augment it, we alter its natural state.
We manipulate ores into metals and composite metals, sounds into music, we harness electrical energy, we hybridise food stuffs, we transplant hearts, we make bionic ears and eyes, we create domestic breeds from naturally occurring wild animals, and now we are beginning to harness DNA which will eventually produce biological computers and enormous data memory storing capacities at molecular levels in the form of retrievable DNA and we may even begin to return animals back from extinction and eliminate all disease.
We have only just begun to seethe potential of what being human means.
